Mechanical Engineering / Aerospace, MEng (Hons), with industry placement

This integrated Master's degree in aerospace systems builds on a broad mechanical engineering foundation. The first two years cover essential principles, including mechanical engineering fundamentals, law, management, systems design, and computing, to guide products from concept to market. In years three and four, students explore advanced topics such as aerothermodynamics, materials, structures, and engineering design, culminating in individual and group projects that address real-world problems. An optional industrial placement year enhances employability through practical experience in engineering organisations.The programme includes modules like introductory engineering design, fluid mechanics, and aircraft propulsion across years one to four. Assessment involves written examinations, coursework, laboratory reports, essays, and projects, with the placement year evaluated via a reflective report. The course is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Engineering Council, and EUR-ACE, providing a pathway to chartered status.

Typical modules include: Year one: An Introduction to Engineering Design; Electrical and Electronics Systems; Mathematics for Engineering and the Environment; Mechanics, Structures and Materials; Mechanical Systems Analysis; ThermoFluids. Year two: Engineering Management and Law; Fluid Mechanics; Materials and Structures; Mathematics for Engineering and the Environment Part II; Mechanics, Machines and Vibration; Systems Design and Computing; Thermodynamics; Electronics and Control. Year three: Individual Project; Aerothermodynamics; Engineering Design with Management; Finite Element Analysis in Solid Mechanics; Heat Transfer and Applications; Manufacturing and Materials; plus additional module options. Year four: Group Design Project; Applications of CFD; Aircraft Propulsion; Materials, Manufacturing, and Supply Chains; plus module options to deepen your knowledge.
